    How To make cake:

    Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Grease and flour bundt or tube pan.

    Lightly chop raisins and cranberries.

    Put cake mix, ¼ cup brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, pumpkin, vegetable oil, ⅓ cup bourbon or water, and eggs in large mixing bowl. Beat on low speed till ingredients are combined - about 30 seconds. Increase mixer speed to medium and beat another 1 ½ minutes till batter is smooth and thick.

    By hand, fold in pecans, raisins, and cranberries till combined.

    Pour batter into pan and bake for 50-55 minutes till inserted toothpick comes out clean.

    Let cake cool at least 15 minutes on wire rack.

    Run a knife around the edges of pan to help loosen it and then invert cake on to cake plate. Let cake cool completely, approximately 30 minutes.

    To make glaze:

    Once cake has cooled make glaze.

    Put butter, ½ cup of brown sugar in small sauce pan over medium heat.

    Bring to a boil stirring constantly. Reduce heat and let simmer about 2 minutes till slightly thickened.

    Spoon gaze over the top of the cake concentrating on the holes you've put in cake. Garnish with cranberries, golden raisins, or pecans if desired.

    Store cake in a cake server that closes tightly at room temperature for 4-5 days or in refrigerator for up to about 7-8 days.

    Cake can be frozen, however, I if freezing I would add the glaze over the top once cake had thawed and not before freezing.
